"The chains are too tight, loosen them up a bit please!"
- Saint Josephine Bakhita's words in the last hours of her life, apparently remembering her slavery.
"The chains are very tight...", is the cry of thousands of people who to this day suffer the tragedy of slavery through human trafficking, whether as labour exploitation, sex trafficking, begging, organ trafficking, child marriage or any other modality that exposes people to forced work and deprives them of their dignity, rights and freedom of decision.
"...loosen them up a bit, please!" This cry represents a challenge for us today. We are all called to act to end human trafficking and bring healing to survivors.
